I have this plant growing like crazy in the shaded areas of my property...and I cannot identify it despite much research.I found this pic on the internet, but it was to identify the pink flower in the background

I live in St. John's, Newfoundland (Zone 5)Any ideas?

Thanks!

the purple flower in the forefront is a mystery...can you identify this?

Just read the small text in your photo, yes Scrap got it right, columbine. It does self seed like crazy but not as bad as some in my books. The problem I have with mine is the columbine sawflies wreck the foliage and makes it look awful.

I'm always amazed at people's perception of pink, lilac, purple, mauve, violet, etc.When the question was asked it referred to the 'pink' flower. To me the flower in the background, (columbine), is either lilac or mauve, but not pink! lolThe flower in the foreground, to me, is pink!~BBQ
